A BRACKET THAT CONNECTS THE DRIVERS SET TO THE SEAT ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY. THIS BRACKET IS ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE APPROXIMATELY BEHIND THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS. THE SEAT IS NOW UNATTACHED FROM THE ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY AND QUITE UNSAFE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE GETTING IN THE VEHICLE. THE BROKEN BRACKET MAY BE PART OF ADJUSTER ASSY., L. RECLINING, 81630-S3V-A30, BUT IT IS HARD FOR ME TO TELL SINCE THE EXPLODED PARTS DIAGRAM THAT I HAVE ACCESS TO DOES NOT SEEM TO MATCH, QUITE, WHAT I SEE. BASED ON PARTS AND LABOR, I ESTIMATE THE COST TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT TO BE IN THE $800-1200 RANGE. *TT

DRIVER'S POWER SEAT ASSEMBLY PART BROKE, WHICH SEPARATED THE SEAT FROM THE POWER MOVEMENT ASSEMBLY. SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FEELS LIKE SLIGHT PRESSURE COULD COMPLETELY DISENGAGE THE SEAT FROM THE CAR. SEAT ROCKING WHILE DRIVING IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD ROW DRIVERS REAR SAFETY SEAT BELT FAILED TO UNLATCH AND RELEASE THE PASSENGER. THE SEAT BELT WAS CUT IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

I HAVE 2004 HONDA PILOT LX. WHEN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30-50 MPH. HEAR AND FEEL A VIBRATION WHEN AT CONSISTENT SPEED. SEEMS AS IF IT'S COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. MAYBE FROM A DRIVE SHAFT OR PROPELLER SHAFT OR SOMETHING. IT'S GETTING MUCH AND MUCH WORST AS DAYS GOES BY. I AM WORRIED SOMETHING CAN COME LOOSE WHEN VEHICLE IN MOVING MOTION. *TR

EXTREME HOT SPOT IN DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT WHEN THE SEAT HEATER IS TURNED ON FOR MORE THAT 3 MINUTES. *TR

2004 PILOT CAME STANDARD WITH 19 GALLON TANK, AND WOULD START FILLING TO OVERFLOW AT NEARLY 22 GALLONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE TANK EITHER TAKING IN EXCESS OF 20 GALLONS OR NOT TAKING MORE THAN 0.75 GALLONS BEFORE STOPPING AUTOMATICALLY. THE TANK THEN HAS TO BE SLOWLY FED FOR NEARLY 25 MINUTES TO GET 16 GALLONS INTO THE TANK. *TR

A LOWER SEAT SUPPORT ON DRIVERS SEAT HAS FAILED. CAUSING THE FRONT OF THE DRIVES SEAT TO NOT BE HELD IN PLACE. ON ACCELERATION THE FRONT OF DRIVERS SEAT LIFTS UP CAUSING THE SEAT TO LAY BACK IN A MORE RECLINED POSITION. *TR

FRONT, DRIVER SEAT, SEAT WARMER WAS ON HIGH. SEAT WAS GETTING VERY WARM. SEAT BEGAN TO SMOKE, LEATHER WAS MELTING. THIS OCCURRED UNDER THE DRIVER'S RIGHT LEG.

WAS TOLD TO JUST NOT USE SEAT WARMER. WILL NO LONGER USE SEAT WARMER AS IT IS A FIRE HAZARD. *TR
